U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is teaching kids about hazards with new music release
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is teaching through the power of music with their new EP.
Titled We're Safety Now Haven't We: Volume 1, the seven-song EP, which has been released today, features songs aimed at teaching young people about common hazards. The hip-hop tune “Protect Ya Noggin,” which is featured in both English and Spanish, revolves around wearing a helmet while riding a skateboard, bike, etc. The dancefloor jam “Phone Away” is about putting the phone down when you’re walking or riding. The reggaeton number “Se Pon Caliente” deals with checking the fire alarms to prevent tragedy. The pop tune “Going Off Like Fireworks” is based around using fireworks properly. The dancy “Off Road Adventure” focuses on wearing the proper gear for ATV rides. The lo-fi/symphonic cut “Beats To Relax / Be Safe To” deals with overall safety.
A statement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reads:
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (@uscpsc) proudly presents our first-ever EP -- We're Safety Now Haven't We: Volume 1
We're Safety Now Haven't We is a collection of songs created by USCPSC to teach young Americans (ages 13 to 24) how to avoid some of the most common hazards in their lives. Bikes and other micromobility products, ATVs, and fireworks are some of the products causing the most injuries among young Americans. Home fires, typically started by unattended cooking or appliances, are also a leading cause of injuries. Phones and toys, while not considered especially dangerous, are some of the products young people are most familiar with and CPSC is responsible for making sure those products are safe.
